So, I have my own horse and two ponies. I grew up around horses, and that really is my passion.

Anywhere in life, for girls there's pressure to keep your weight and to keep yourself feeling and looking good.

I think that the people who are the loudest about wanting to change you are the people with the least amount of vision and creativity.

If I can help and influence girls who are going through body-image issues then I think that's amazing.

I always had career goals. And I figured out a path I wanted to take to accomplish those goals. If that meant calling the best modeling agency in the world, that's what it meant.

I'm sure every designer has a certain person in mind who they would ideally like to wear their clothes, but the problem is that a lot of the time that person doesn't actually exist, unless she is a 15-year-old model.

I have to say, the other day I was reading some negative comments, and I was thinking they were really funny. So I guess they don't anymore.
